Winter Society/All Parent Meeting - February 5th

Want to know more about the school, how we operate, and why we do what we do from fundraising to classroom curriculum to school budget? Are you curious as to how to be involved as a parent? This meeting is one of three meetings (fall, winter, spring) held each school year. Each meeting has a different agenda relating to the operational season of the school. 

On the agenda for this meeting is the 2018-19 proposed school budget, including tuition and fee increases. Note: Because the budget will not be finalized until after the end of early re-enrollment, we are extending the date to Friday, February 9th, after the winter Society/All Parent meeting.

Your involvement is important to the life of the school! This is an opportunity for you to learn more about the budget and to ask questions. Mark your calendars for Monday, February 5th at 7:30 pm. 

Childcare is provided - please RSVP with the office before noon on February 5.
Chili Supper Thank You
Thank you all for joining us in community last week Friday at our staff sponsored Chili Cook Off.

Second Place--Ms. Huston with Top of the Morning
Third Place--Mrs. Hart with Yellow Jacket

Track Coaches Needed

We are looking for volunteer coaches for both middle school and high school track. The Middle School Track program is looking for people who are interested in helping to coach this years team. Track experience is preferred but not necessary. We already have some coaches but would love to have more.
The season will begin in early March and go through early May. They will practice or compete 3 times per week.

For high school, we are looking for a coach for the 2019 season. Preference will be given to anyone with experience coaching, but experience is not required. If you need experience, there is an opportunity to shadow the team and Mr. Visser this year.

Please contact Mr. Hopkins if you are interested!
